The Liposuction or liposculpture is a technique where areas of unwanted fatty tissue are reduced using a special vibrating suction tube (the 'canula').

This is particularly efficient on the hips, abdomen and buttocks.

Mrs Vasseur may advise that a supportive "lycra" garment is used to reduce swelling in the early postoperative period.

Procedure time : 1 to 3h.

Local or general anaesthetic.

Hospitalization : 1 day.

Time off work : 1 to 3 days.
